Imelda Who?

For a quarter of a century, the Unisa boutique in Coconut Grove has been giving local women and drag queens a place to buy mules, pumps, sandals, and boots that are cute but won’t empty your pretty pockets. Tonight this lifesaver of a shoe store is celebrating its 25th birthday,...

For a quarter of a century, the Unisa boutique in Coconut Grove has been giving local women and drag queens a place to buy mules, pumps, sandals, and boots that are cute but won’t empty your pretty pockets. Tonight this lifesaver of a shoe store is celebrating its 25th birthday, and you’re invited! And while you don’t have to bring a gift, you might actually walk out with one. After seeing the fashion show of Unisa shoes and accessories through the years, you just might be inspired to buy something. Or you might be getting inspired right now reading this. Either way, a portion of tonight’s sales will benefit the Junior League of Miami, so tell that to the Mr. You-Have-Too-

As if you needed any more incentives, there will be light bites and cocktails, so you can easily imagine how it’ll feel to dance drunk in those new three-inch wedges.
Thu., Feb. 22, 6-9 p.m.
